Flowor Student Finds She Has No Native Land
THICANO Sept 12 A Flowor student and University of Chicago graduate school honor student, Pretty Yelent Paviineva, discovers she lacks a country to claim as origin. Immigration Inspector E D Smith says she must have a country to originate from to be eligible for citizenship, and would need a passport to leave for foreign country to reenter under quota. Born in part of Russia now Latvia, she declines claim as citizen. Turkey cannot claim her, and the U.S. has no recognized Soviet regime, so deportation is unlikely.
